Does this matter?

[Gluesniffer]

Using the dipping machine two days before chest workout, does it matter?

[Bouncer]

i would do dips during chest day.

chest and triceps.

I like to do shoulders and tris a couple days after chest. That gives me enough time to recover to do chest again. So I would do dips either same day like B said or long enough before.

I do a back/tri, chest/shoulders/bi split so that my arm muscles aren't tired yet when I start training them. I already do dips with a wide grip and elbows moving outward in my chest workout. I was just wondering if it would be ok to do dipping machine in my triceps workout, which is usually two or three days before. But I suppose that this could weaken my chest workout?

sure if your triceps or chest is sore come chest day.

You shouldn't point your elbows out while doing dips. Just go lower and it'll hit your chest.

I go as low as I can, which is upper arms almost parallel to the floor.

Doesn't it have the same elbow logic as bench?

You need to go lower then that, like elbows pointing to the ceiling low.
And nope it doesn't have the same elbow logic as bench.

Same here nothing beats the old push/pull routine.
